Digital Photography
Do you have a digital camera you would like to get more from? Is the instruction book less than helpful? Then I have a range of courses for you, which I have delivered extensively and have been extremely well attended.
Digital Cameras - Start Here!
If you tend to use the automatic setting all the time then this course is for you! Offered over 1 day or a series of sessions, this course revolves around your camera and understanding its settings.
Digital Cameras and Computers:
So once the camera is covered where next? Well the next step is tackling the computer. Fortunately the software you need is freely available - Google's Picasa. This is a free program with which to download, catalogue and apply simple edits to your photos.
Digital Cameras - Going Further!
This next level encourages you to use your photos in a meaningful way such as in fliers, posters, reports, presentations and more. I also introduce some facilities of Paint.net, free photo editing software that will fulfil the majority of day to day requirements. Again, this may be run as a 1 day course or a series of sessions.
The Photographers Eye
This is a practical creative course with a guest trainer concentrating on the composition and artistic side of photography. The aim of the course is to encourage you to think and see like a photographer, applying basic compositional rules, but also to go beyond these. Both internal and external photography is considered, but the course can be tailored to your needs if required. Each session includes a constructional critique and review of the photos taken. This is an ideal follow on from the Start Here course as you will be expected to know how to change the settings on your camera.
Using Paint.net for Digital Images:
A new course covering the use of Paint.net digital editing software and applying it to digitial image manipulation. We keep this as practical as possible, with a broad content of resizing and cropping, image adjustment, use of layers, type and combining images.
